Where did you buy it? Do you have a recommendation? How was the install?

Hey, have you found a rear drive unit yet?

I wouldn't feel too bad about it. There are always people selling the modules on eBay. This allows buying only the amount of modules you need instead of having 16 modules and only needing 8. *edit* It would be really cool to say that your solar batteries powered your car then were recycled to...

You have an 85kwh pack laying around? Here are a couple of inspirational videos of people that have used tesla batteries for solar storage: If you have questions I can help.

I like that a lot! I can build a worse one myself for $350. It's funny how that always happens. It's the experience that I hate missing out on. You make a lot of sense. They have spent a lot of time and $ on their businesses. It shouldn't be that easy for me to fix my own issue without a...

Ok. Thank you for all of your help! I am struggling with the fact that it can't be done, but it looks like a reality that I need to face.

I finally read through the service manual. It appears that I can complete the programming with toolbox 3. I had access to it a couple of months ago but toolbox 2 hasn't been incorporated yet. I am leaning toward getting toolbox 3 again and seeing how it goes. Is that smart or stupid? I might be...

Hey, I apologize. I forgot to mention the suspension when I replied to your first post. I only focused on the config files. The car came with air suspension so that is one plus about this upgrade that I don't have to worry about.

I saw your solar storage setup on your website today and it has inspired me to add more storage. After this conversation and how complex it sounds I am thinking of adding this 85kwh battery to my current 33kwh and call it a day. Just drive the 60 and deal with it.

That sounds bad all around. The one good thing is that I bought it from a guy that I have dealt with in the past. I can't vouch for em, but I can say that he has been around Teslas for a while. Thanks for the heads up. I will definitely hold off on the diy until I know all of the info and how...

Those are great questions. The service manager suggested the same thing. Run the battery until it dies then buy a new one after. That worked for a while, but the charging is super slow and I have to stop a lot. It is fine around town. I only need it while driving far distances. I have now...

I bought an 85 battery before I saw your post. I will have to do some research on the 90 packs. I didnt realize that they are different chemistry.

I ordered a battery today that will be shipped in a few days. I'm looking to do the recon after the fact. I know that is bass-ackward, but I'm hoping that the stars align before it arrives. If not... I can drive with the 60 until I have it figured out.

The sticker says it is a remanufactured 60kwh pack. I may be mistaken about it being limited.

LOL Touché, good point man.

I will start to research the config files now. This must be where they are limiting my range. Hindsight, I wish that I didn't upgrade to MCU2. I wasn't aware that it would be to my detriment.

I will gladly pay them for sharing the knowledge! Anything so that I am not tethered to every supercharger on my trips to and from Cali.

Thank you, I will check out this website now.

Is it possible to upgrade a 2013 model s 60kwh battery to an 85kwh battery at home? I had an original battery fail and Tesla replaced with a remanufactured battery about 15k miles ago. The issue is that I went from 185 miles of range at 90% to 159 miles of range at 90%. They seem to have...

It sounds like you are very familiar with the process. Have you replaced the seal on a drive unit?

Negative!!!! 8k - 10k every 4 years is not ok. 2 months ago the Burbank service center quoted me 9.5k for drive unit and both axles. I was 300 miles away from home and my tools. I replaced the drive unit, had it back on the road in about a week and spent half of what they quoted me. (The...

I am no professional by any means but that sounds more electrical than mechanical. The drive unit does have a lot of electronics so I can see where their recommendation might be valid. I would like to hear what others would suggest for this. If it were me.... Drive it until I can't drive it...

I would just drive it until it. breaks. It could fail in 100 miles or it could last 10,000 more miles.

Do you mind if I ask what are you experiencing with the drive unit?

It's good to hear that your s made it to 180k. My drive unit failed just under 70k. I hear that ev fix me in Costa Mesa can replace it. I called Henry at Ev parts solutions (in Phoenix.) He sent a used drive unit to Cali and I replaced it myself. Have you thought about diy?

Text me anytime and I can give you a call when I'm free.

Hey, just logging in and saw the 2 new messages. You guys can contact me at 702.525.5822 and I will share everything I know about the process.

What year is your car? I have a 2013. If yours is around that year... i might be able to help.. I successfully replaced my drive unit and the car is back on the road. Let me know if you need help.

Hey, were you able to find a solution? I am replacing my drive unit this week and wondering how to solve this issue.

I'm sure this has been on everyone's mind. Is there a group that shares the access? If yes please share. If no... who is interested in starting one? I have a couple of ideas how to get going. Looking for people that are willing to move forward with it. Please text 702.525.5822 thanks

Hi, still available?
